Note
Made For Each Other
¨
: Tektronix inks and transparencies are
formulated for use with this printer to ensure the best print
quality and long-term reliability. Tektronix does not guarantee
printer performance on non-Tektronix transparency media.
For information on ordering Tektronix transparencies and other media
supplies, refer to ÒPrinter suppliesÓ on page 10-2.
Caution
Never attempt two-sided or two-pass (duplex) printing on any type
of media. Ink already present on the media will offset onto the
internal paper path, requiring you to perform cleaning procedures.
To avoid damaging your printer, do not use perforated paper, three-holed
paper, legal-size paper, or envelopes.
Do not use transparency media intended for ink-jet or thermal-wax
printers.
Do not reuse paper that has already been fed through the printer, even if
no image has been printed. Oil and ink residue from the media may
offset onto printer parts, requiring you to clean the printer.
Keep media and other printer supplies in covered containers. Dust and
dirt can be transferred to paper or transparencies, resulting in poor print
quality. Paper that has been sitting out of its sealed wrapper can become
distorted, causing paper jams. Do not use creased or wrinkled paper.
To avoid having the paper stick together, gently fan the paper before
loading it into the paper tray.
